There exists a BBQ lobby????

All of the Indiana counties in the Eastern time zone stay on standard time
all year long, except for 2 of them, which observe DST. The counties in the
Central time zone also observe DST.

The Indiana legislature recently passed a bill which will bring Indiana
into line with the rest of the country in 2006, which means they will have
to adjust to the current national system next year, and then the new
national system the year after.

When I'm dictator, the country will remain on standard time all year long.
